BUNKER 13 FAQ
The questions people ask most in our Discord about the DayZ server: joining, the Treasury and marks, airdrops, vehicles, bases and raids, wipes. If yours is not here, open a ticket in Discord: the Radio Operator always answers.
Joining and first steps
How do I join the server?
In DayZ Launcher search for «BUNKER 13» or connect directly: 194.147.90.244:2302. The launcher downloads the mods itself. If it will not let you in after an update, update the server mods in the launcher or resubscribe. The first join takes longer, that is normal.
What does a new player get?
At start you carry 50 marks in cash. Plus the newcomer voucher for 100 marks: redeem it at bunker13.org/promo, 50 land on your account as soon as you join the server, another 50 after an hour of play, automatically. Mechanics tips on the loading screen.
Where do I enter a promo code or voucher?
At bunker13.org/promo: sign in with Steam, enter the code, press «Redeem». One voucher per account. Marks land on your Kazna account while you are on the server. No code? Ask in Discord. Terms are pinned in the promo channel.
How does chat work and where is Discord?
Z switches between Global and Nearby. One Discord: discord.gg/wJukfdGp2G, with news, rules, tickets and the morgue.
How do I link Discord and get the «In game» role?
On bunker13.org in the cabinet: Settings, Discord, «Get code». The code lives 15 minutes. Then in any Discord channel type /link CODE, Radist replies to you only. While you are on the server your name is green in the «In game» group. One Discord per Steam, unlink in the cabinet.
How do I get the Founder role?
The first 100 survivors with 5 hours on the server get «Founder» forever. The role arrives by itself once your Discord is linked in the bunker13.org cabinet (Settings, Discord, «Get code», then /link CODE in Discord). The first five clans before 31 October get «Clan Founder», their own channel and tag: the leader posts the roster in a ticket. Roles give no in-game advantage.
Treasury and money
Where is Kazna 13 and how do I trade?
The keeper stands on top of Green Mountain, north-east of Zelenogorsk, map marker «Kazna 13». Walk up and press F. The menu has search and filters, pay with cash or from your account. Prices are live: buying pushes them up, selling pushes them down. Stock returns to normal once an hour.
What are marks and how does the ATM work?
Bunker marks are notes of 1, 5, 10, 50 and 100. They spawn in the world and come from sales. Four ATMs stand at Kazna: walk up close, face the terminal, press F. Deposit, withdraw, transfer to another player by exact nickname. The account is tied to Steam, no card needed, it survives death, restart and wipe. Cash in your pockets stays on the body.
Survival and PvP
How does the safe zone work?
Around Kazna 13 damage is off, everything else works as usual. Nobody guards items on the ground or in cars. Shooting into the zone from the edge or camping the edge is a ban.
What happens after death?
After death you choose where to respawn: the coast or the fields near Stary Sobor, Novy Sobor and Sinistok, with a 5-minute pause on the point you used last. VIP+ picks any town except around the military bases, once every 2 hours. Your last life summary shows on the next spawn, and Discord has the morgue: who, whom, with what and how long they lived. Your Kazna account stays, cash stays on the body. Gear up again: from loot, at Kazna, or with a subscription kit that arrives by itself after every death.
How do airdrops and the car voucher work?
A supply drop once per restart, the location is announced ahead. The loot is inside the crate: walk up, press Tab, the cargo container shows under Vicinity. You can call the plane yourself with a signal grenade from the gas zones: throw it and the cargo flies to you, while the whole server hears the intercept. In the safe zone the signal burns for nothing. The crate may hold a Kazna car voucher: at Kazna open «Vehicles», pick a car and press «For voucher», it appears on the pad nearby. Other events: a plane crash with two crates and a smugglers boat with three.
Where is the top loot?
The Rify and Pavlovo gas zones: AWM .338, AK50, M200, .338, .50 and .408 ammo, MMG MK V armor, the Armored helmet, the biggest backpack, the signal grenade and relics. Bring a gas mask, and mind the toxic zombies in the gas: the mask does not stop their bite. Heavy calibers and machine guns now spawn only in gas zones and events.
What vehicles are there and how do I buy one?
At Kazna: BMW E34, G63, Baja Bug, the Traveler and UAZ pickups, vanilla cars. The same cars are on the site for rubles, picked up at the Kazna depot. A bought car appears on the pad next to the keeper, with full parts and a full tank. To sell a car: park it within 20 metres of the keeper, empty and with nobody inside.
When is the restart?
Every 4 hours, countdown in chat at 15 and 5 minutes. Get off towers and stop your engine in time.
What events are there and when?
Prime time every evening from 18:00 Moscow time, that is when the server is busiest. «Bunker Hour» every day at 18:00. Weekends at 19:00: Saturday «Height 13», hold the point for ten minutes and take 500 marks; Sunday «Clan night». The point is announced in game chat 15 minutes before. The calendar is in the Discord «Events» tab, press «Interested» for a reminder.
How many players can be in a group?
Up to five. The game will not accept a sixth. Alliances and teaming beyond five are banned, in raids and on defense too. A clan can be bigger, but no more than five together in the field.
Bases and raids
How do I build a palisade?
Free, from loot. Crafted like a regular fence: rope and two sticks, drag the sticks onto the rope, scroll to pick «Assemble palisade layout». The layout is placed like a vanilla fence kit, then hammer and shovel: foundation 2 logs, lower and upper logs 2 logs and 10 nails each, reinforcement 6 planks and 12 nails, metal 3 sheets and 12 nails. Double gate on any section (wire and pliers), takes the Bunker code lock. Platform, ladders, stakes and barbed wire on top. Can't see the recipe, update the server mods in the launcher.
How does the Bunker code lock work?
Goes on gates, code of 3 to 6 digits. Opens by aiming at any part of the gate from either side. Owner and trusted players pass by code, strangers get 5 tries and a 5 minute lockout. Only the owner can change the code, the trusted list or remove the lock, on a closed gate. The same lock exists for vehicles. It fits furniture too: safes, lockers, crates, containers. Open it, put the lock into the lock slot, set the code, close. Strangers cannot open or dismantle it, raiding furniture means sawing the lock with a hacksaw, five minutes, progress is kept.
How do raids work and how much ammo does it take?
Raid through gates and doors only, walls, floors and textures are a ban. Palisade gate leaves don't break, the whole gate section does, and the code lock drops with it. A log section: about 700 rounds of 5.56 or 7.62x39, 59 of .338 or 39 of .50. Metal: 1100, 93 and 61. Car lock: lockpick or hacksaw, 5 minutes. Safes and cabinets: hacksaw, 5 minutes. No more than five in a raid or on defense. The full table is pinned in the Discord raid channel. Raid time 17:00-00:00 MSK comes with the flagpole, for now raid time is not limited.
Wipes and rules
When is the wipe and what survives it?
We announce the wipe date in the Discord wipe channel and news one day before and remind an hour before. Stays: Kazna balance, VIP, roles. Wiped: map, bases, vehicles, characters.
Where are the rules?
Pinned in the Discord rules channel in three languages, the key points are on the rules page. In short: cheats and duping mean a permanent ban, raid through doors and gates only, groups of up to 5 and no alliances beyond five, no politics, no real-money deals, reports only with a clip in a ticket.
How do I reach an admin?
Open a ticket in Discord: in-game nickname, what happened, the time, a clip if it is a report. The Radio Operator always answers, an admin within an hour in prime time, longer at night.
